Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to compare the lateral brow-eyelid contour following traditional blepharoplasty versus blepharoplasty with brassiere sutures using 3D imaging.
Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative, parallel-group trial involved 56 female patients with dermatochalasis. Patients with an odd number of letters in their first names underwent traditional upper blepharoplasty (group A), while the rest underwent blepharoplasty with orbicularis oculi muscle fixation (group B). All procedures were performed by a single surgeon. Postoperative 3D photographs were standardized in a three-quarter view and analyzed using textured overlays.
Results: In traditional blepharoplasty, 64.5% of patients exhibited flatter eyelid contours with shorter lower convexity. In contrast, the brassiere suture group showed increased convexity above and below the eyelid crease and increased tarsal platform show in 60% of patients.
Conclusion: The authors recommend preserving and repositioning fat in upper blepharoplasty for its safety and aesthetic benefits.
